 RC 20 for FC Fleet Commanders should be able to get remote control 20 because they are the one class that uses slaves.
With the new tech 21 stuff FC's DPS is quite underpowered now, so RC 20 would fill the gap between FC and other classes.
Getting RC 20 on FC should be hard, like u need to pay a certain amount of money (like 100 billions) or get to a certain level (like 2000) so that this wouldn't be a way to get pretty good easily.
Please discuss.

Re: RC 20 for FC RC20 would simply be broken, there is 100% no doubt about it.
What would be cool would be some new t18 ships that have a slave only tag on them along with similar augs, could also just FC lock them.

Re: RC 20 for FC If anything, the solution to boost FC's t21 ability would be to make t18 ships that require FC21. T20 ships would be crazy unbalanced.
Its also terribly ignorant to say that only FCs use slaves... ShMs even get slave bonuses from their class skills (which, btw, are realistically about as good as FC bonuses)

Re: RC 20 for FC Other classes use em too. Though sometimes they are overlooked they provide slightly different roles for each.
as for T20 ships...it would be horribly broken. Admins have made that a forgone conclusion (no, not the froggy or his drops) when they made FC skills as powerful as they are and added slave tweaking.
Though the ability to equip T18 augs that have some sort of T19-T21 flair would be nice. slave only aug types that require FC skills equal to that of the aug.
Much easier to balance then giving them access to full T19-21 versions of augs.

Re: RC 20 for FC i think FCs should have waaaaaay more slave slots though. 2 EFBCs/selens doesnt really strike me as a fleet

Re: RC 20 for FC Of course it doesn't sound like a fleet. It's a pair of battlecruisers!
If you want lots of ships, make a swarm or use EFF's.

Re: RC 20 for FC Or make slave ONLY augs (tie it in so they only give the bonus with a control bot on em) that way the classes that use slaves are not restricted to FCs just getting the bonus. Also allows FCs to keep up with everyone else T21 wise.

Re: RC 20 for FC It would be a load of work to code augs that don't work on player ships, but only on slaves. Especially when slaves ARE player ships while they're docked.
The best solution is introducing new and better combat bots to FC (and ShM), and beefing the crappy Olympus ones. A few new Maus augs or T18 Olympus/Darkness/RP augs wouldn't hurt as well.
And a bit more variation of ships would be cool, but the main power should come from the Bot, seeing how you can add many cool stats and have all sorts of slaves come from them.

Re: RC 20 for FC I've always thought the best idea for "t21" slaves would be a tech 18 ship that requires piloting 21.
